Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Getting Started with Git Bash
Other pages provide complementary information on that same topic.
Another thing I appreciated was the explanation of MSYS2's environments:
https://www.msys2.org/docs/environments/
Being able to painlessly switch away from MSVCRT to UCRT was helpful in solving some UTF-8 difficulties I was experiencing at the time.
Package management with pacman is rather pleasant, and the setup-msys2 GitHub Action makes it simple to provide your GHA workflow with the tools and libs you want:

GitHub Actions by Example
> Actions reduce workflow steps by providing reusabe[sic] “code” for common tasks. To run an action, you include the uses keyword pointing to a GitHub repo with the pattern {owner}/{repo}@{ref} or {owner}/{repo}/{path}@{ref} if it’s in a subdirectory. A ref can be a branch, tag, or SHA.
Aside from the typo, I wonder how many packages could be backdoored at once, if an action maintainer went rogue, seeing as there's no pinning for actions by default, and (according to https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2/blob/main/HACKING.md) moving a tag is the default way to push updates to an action. (Interestingly get-cmake/run-cmake/run-vcpkg are all operated by the same person.)

Why I recommend Renovate over any other dependency update tools
Oh yes, https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/3253. I wouldn't go so far as saying it was locked because it was too uncivil, mostly just because "additional commentary wasn't adding value" ;)
Your read on the situation is spot on, and no, it doesn't look like it's been "fixed" (mostly because "fixing it would re-introduce the same potential vulnerability).

Storybook 8
Storybook is great and all, but these days nearly every Dependabot alert I get is about a sub-dependency of Storybook. Since Dependabot doesn't currently allow you to ignore dev dependencies and only check production dependencies [0], this makes Storybook a Big Noise Generator and every time I dismiss another alert from it, I can't help but wonder if there's a better option out there.

Keeping dependencies in your GitHub projects up-to-date with Dependabot
P.S. While this being a powerful and handy tool itself, it is only a part of Dependabot’s capabilities. If you are interested, you’ll find more about them in the GitHub docs.

How to Manage Helm Chart Dependency Versions?
Hello! I'm using Helm in K8s and curious if there is a solution that could keep tabs on the deployed chart dependency versions and either alert us when something is out of date or when a new release is available. Does this exist? I was thinking something like Dependabot or Renovate, but neither seems to be able to manage this.

Introducing Bld: A New Pure Java Build System
An important point is that this kind of metadata often needs to be accessible from outside the build system itself. You need that for example in order to integration with renovate-bot or github's dependabot, to check your dependencies against CVEs, to build SBOMs and various other additional tasks that are not part of the build itself, but related to the build's metadata. This is all functionality I don't want to reimplement, I want to use what's already out there. And for that the build system needs to have some minimum amount of compatibility with existing standard metadata files like pom.xml or build.gradle

OpenAI, MinIO, And Why You Should Always Use docker-cli-scan To Keep Your Supply chAIn Clean
To avoid any potential data breaches, it is recommended that users upgrade to a patched version of MinIO (RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z) and integrate security tooling such as docker-cli-scan or use Github’s built-in monitoring for supply chain vulnerabilities, which already contains a record referencing this vulnerability.

OCI Helm chat repo with common apps
I recognize that it does not handle chart updates, but it's might still ease the burden of applying minor releases easily etc. For the chart versions themselves, unfortunately dependabot does not support this and will not, but something like renovatebot does. Could be worth looking into as a dual approach

Private profiles are now generally available on GitHub
Disclosure: Renovate author
Renovate is indeed AGPL, but if you're just running it as a CLI, do you think there's anything to "watch out for"? It does not make any project you run it against AGPL, that's for sure.
Also you should be aware that dependabot-core, which dependabot-gitlab wraps, is not technically Open Source at all: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/main/LICE...
